Richard Mckay

Richard McKay is an Indigenous Canadian born singer/songwriter. His music is a mixture of grassroots, alternative, and folk sounds


His earliest memories of music began at the age of nine while watching and listening to his talented mother Anita Neault play guitar and sing at family gatherings. Although his mother is his main musical inspiration and influence, he also comes from a very talented musical family


He would often watch his aunts and uncles pass the guitar around and listen to them sing beautiful harmonies and melodies; Richard was in awe, his passion for music grew. These fond memories are what laid the foundation for his love of creating music


His mother, a self-taught singer & performer, put in countless hours teaching and educating Richard on how to play and by the age of eleven when he was playing the guitar. After work she always made time to work with Richard teaching him how to sing and play different chord variations. Anita sang harmony on all of Richard's recorded material.


The mother-son duo transcends through the music which is very uplifting and inspiring. Richard then applied his new found passion and understanding into song writing


The Richard McKay music experience is overall diverse, heartfelt and relatable. His music speaks to men, women and children alike with his memorable and uplifting harmonies as his music speaks to his listeners
